MONSTERPANTS
was founded in Boston in 1995 for the purpose of publishing three
issues of the independent comics anthology, COW.
Also published was McKenney's collection of FOUR SHORT PLAYS. After
moving to Los Angeles in December 1996, MonsterPants went on hiatus
for two years until the co-publication of Aleksandar Zograf's PSYCHONAUT
#3, a title taken over from previous publisher, Fantagraphics
Books. PSYCHONAUT #3 also featured a five-page promotional comic written
by McKenney with art by Mister Reusch for a movie in development called
THE PURSUERS.

In the year 2000,
the first MonsterPants Movie went into production, CANNIBALLISTIC!
The film was McKenney's directorial debut. Post-production was done
in New York City, as MonsterPants returned to the East Coast. CANNIBALLISTIC!
premiered in Brooklyn in January 2002. It was released a year later
on VHS and DVD by Dead Alive/Spectrum. Unbeknownst to the director
until it was too late, the distributor gave the release a cover art
featuring a photo of a blood-spattered actor with McKenney's head
pasted on, instead of a picture the film's star. McKenney is still
horrified to this day.

Also in 2002,
was the weekend shoot of the short film, THE WAKING DEAD. The movie
has never been released, but there are plans for it to debut as a
bonus item on a future, bigger and better DVD release of CANNIBALLISTIC!

The second MonsterPants
feature, THE OFF SEASON, like its predecessor,
was shot in Southern Maine and was released by Lions Gate Entertainment
in 2005. This ScareFlick
produced by Glass
Eye Pix was followed by the critically acclaimed retro-styled
science fiction / horror film, AUTOMATONS,
now available on DVD.

In 2010 the MonsterPants
team started the Independent film distribution label, CHANNEL MIDNIGHT.
The company's first release was Nathan Wrann's surreal revenge movie,
BURNING INSIDE. A remastered DVD release of McKenney's CANNIBALLISTIC!
is the company's next project.

The most recently
released MonsterPants Movie, SATAN
HATES YOU won Best Feature at the Coney Island Film Festival and
is now out on DVD from TLA Releasing's Danger After Dark label.

Up next is the
chilling creature feature, HYPOTHERMIA
starring Michael Rooker, for Glass Eye Pix and Dark
Sky Films. HYPOTHERMIA is scheduled to be released in mid-2012.
